Sex-related differences in corticospinal excitability outcome measures of the biceps brachii during a submaximal elbow flexor contraction.
Article in Physiological reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of sex, muscle thickness, and subcutaneous fat thickness (SFT) on corticospinal excitability outcome measures of the biceps brachii. Eighteen participants (10 males and 8 females) completed this study. Ultrasound was used to assess biceps brachii muscle thickness and the overlying SFT. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was used to determine corticospinal excitability by inducing motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) at eight different TMS intensities from 90% to 160% of active motor threshold (AMT) from the biceps brachii during an isometric contraction of the elbow flexors at 10% of maximum voluntary contraction (MVC). Biceps brachii maximal compound muscle action potential (M
